The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Emperor Zhide said angrily: "Bastard! You actually want King Wu to smuggle for profit."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you just said that, forgive me for not being guilty."

Emperor Zhide waved his hand and said: "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't ask you just now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhide said again: "I want you to serve in the army, what do you think?"

Lin Yun said without hesitation: "As long as I don't go to the battlefield, I am willing to obey His Majesty's orders."

Emperor Zhide said happily: "You are the first courtier who dares to bargain with me."

Lin Yun said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to share the worries for Your Majesty, but I don't have any children yet, please allow me a few years, and when I have a child, I can serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

Emperor Zhide nodded and said: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. What you said is also reasonable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Emperor Zhide stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I should go back to the palace."

...

Lin Yun accompanied the emperor to the outside of Linyuan.

Taking advantage of Emperor Zhide's sedan chair, Dai Quan scolded Lin Yun in a low voice: "You bastard, do you have the brains of a pig?"

Lin Yun quickly took out a few bank notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Dai Quan's hands.

Dai Quan accepted the bank note, then turned around and left with a slight expression on his face, and rode on horseback to catch up with Zhi Dedi's sedan chair.

Lin Yun looked at the direction in which everyone disappeared, and heaved a sigh of relief. This test was finally passed without any danger.

Chapter 213: The Heavenly Family Has No Family Affection Since Ancient Times

Lin Yun returned to the inner house and saw Daiyu and Xiangyun waiting for him at Qin Keqing's side. Obviously everyone knew about the Emperor's private visit incognito.

Seeing him appear, Qin Keqing asked eagerly: "Husband, I heard Ping'er say that the emperor has come to our residence, is there such a thing?"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "The Son of Heaven happened to pass by our mansion when he was out to play, so he came in and sat down. It's fine, so don't worry."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, Shi Xiangyun patted his chest and said: "I read the story of the emperor's private visit in a micro-service before, but I didn't expect to meet it today. It's a coincidence."

Daiyu: "Sister Yun, what book are you reading? Let me read it, too."

Shi Xiangyun: "It's a miscellaneous book I read at Brother Ai's. I have forgotten the name. If you want to read it, you can borrow it from him tomorrow."

When Daiyu heard Shi Xiangyun mention Baoyu, she asked Lin Yun: "Brother, can you take over Sister Bao, Sister Yingchun, Sister Tanchun, and Sister Xichun, and let's get together?"

Lin Yun: "It's definitely not enough to pick it up. The old ancestor is not so easy to talk to. Besides, she is still angry with me. I don't want to scold her."

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "How long has passed, the old ancestor must have calmed down long ago."

Daiyu: "That's right, brother is obviously unwilling to help, so he used this to block me."

"Sister, if my aunt isn't here, I'm missing a talisman. I'm the only one with small arms and legs, and I don't dare to mess around in the mansion over there. If my ancestors get someone to beat me with a board, no one will intercede for me."

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Sister, your brother also has difficulties, so don't be angry with him."

Daiyu: "Okay, for my sister-in-law's sake of interceding for you, I won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Yun: "It might be okay if I invite Sister Baochai to come over as a guest."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Daiyu: "Do you need to ask? Aunt Xue owes my brother a lot of favors, so naturally she wants to sell him."

Lin Yun said solemnly: "Sister, what you said is not right. It is not an act of a gentleman to ask for a narrow favor, and I disdain it."

Daiyu lowered her head when she heard the words, and said in shame, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

"It's good to know what's wrong, you guys play, I'll go out first."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he got up and walked out the door.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Lin Yun's leaving figure and felt warm in his heart. Lin Yun's words just now seemed to be for her.

She secretly said in her heart: "Brother Lin, it really is different."

...

Lin Yun came to the study, thinking carefully about the purpose of Emperor Zhide's visit today.

When he saw the gift from King Wu that day, he knew that the matter must not be hidden from the emperor, so today when Emperor Zhide asked, he admitted without hesitation.Now it seems that his frankness should have dispelled the emperor's doubts.

What made him curious was that Dai Quan didn't seem to have told Emperor Zhide about this, so who put eyeliner beside King Wu?Is it the empress?Or the King of Beijing?

He secretly said in his heart: "It seems that we have to find a chance to ask Dai Quan who is doing the trick."

...

Changchun Palace is the bedroom where the empress lives. Originally, Kunning Palace was the residence of the empress. However, the empresses of all dynasties of Chu did not like to live there. The reason is that many deposed empresses died in that palace. Feeling unlucky, he moved to live in Changchun Palace.

In the afternoon, Empress Zhang was reprimanding her eldest son Ning Jing in her bedroom, "How many times has my mother reminded you to let you study in the mansion with peace of mind, but why do you always mess with Ning Hu and Yue Le? What do you want to do?"

Ning Jing is a 12-year-old boy with a handsome appearance and a heroic spirit in his brows.

Hearing his mother's reprimand, he quickly defended and said: "Reporting to my mother, my son practiced martial arts with Ning Hu and Yue Le. Now that the frontier war is tense, my son hates himself for being too young to serve in the army, so he I want to practice riding and archery more so that I can play for Da Chu in the future."

Empress Zhang said angrily: "The queen mother asked you to study in the mansion, but you want to go to practice martial arts. Are you trying to piss me off?"

Ning Jing: "I dare not."

Empress Zhang wanted to reprimand her a few more words, when she saw a young palace maid come in and report to her: "Empress, Mrs. Xia is here."

She hurriedly told Ning Jing: "Go back and reflect carefully, and don't act willfully again."

"My son respects his life."

Ning Jing bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

...

Not long after, I saw a senior eunuch who was nearly forty years old stepping in and saluted Empress Zhang: "This old slave pays his respects to Empress Madam."

Empress Zhang raised her hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, father-in-law."

"Thank you Queen Empress."

Empress Zhang raised her hand to send the maid and the servant away, and then asked Xia Shouzhong, "Have you found out about that matter?"

Xia Shouzhong shook his head and said: "This matter is a memorial on the head of a young imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This person is surnamed Zhao Minghong, and he is the last Jinshi of the Xinke. Zhao Hong has never formed a party in the court. Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish him from the memorial. Please establish a prince, is it true, or is it instigated by others."

Empress Zhang: "There must be someone behind this matter. Zhao Hong was either instigated or used by others. We must find out as soon as possible to find out who did it."

"The old slave respects his life."

After a pause, Xia Shouzhong lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty left the palace in a low-clothes in the morning and went to the Lin residence."

"Which Lin Mansion?"

"This is the residence of the new Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Mr. Lin Ruhai."

Empress Zhang was surprised and said: "Didn't Mr. Lin go to the northwest to take up his post?"

"Your Majesty forgot, Mr. Lin's nephew is still in the capital."

"It's him?"

Empress Zhang was stunned for a moment, then asked again: "Do you know the details?"

Xia Shouzhong shook his head and said, "Eunuch Dai accompanied His Majesty, I don't know the details for now. But~"

"But what?"

"After His Majesty came back, he went to the Fengzao Palace Xianfei."

Empress Zhang's face changed drastically when she heard the words, and the emperor went directly to Fengzao Palace to visit Concubine Jia Xian when he came back, obviously beating her.

She bit her red lips lightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, there is no need to investigate this matter."

"The old slave respects the order."

"Go."

"Yes."

...

After Xia Shouzhong left, Empress Zhang thought to herself, "Why did Your Majesty go to the Lin Mansion? Could it be that His Majesty has already found out that this matter is not the work of the Jia family? But besides the Jia family, who else is secretly dealing with me?" ?”

She was thinking hard in her mind when she saw a little head sticking out of the door and peeking over here.

Queen Zhang: "Here, what are you doing?"

The little princess Ning Le ran in after hearing the sound, threw herself into her arms, and said crisply: "Mother, I heard that the emperor's brother has entered the palace, where are the others?"

Empress Zhang stretched out her arms to hug her daughter, and said with a smile, "Your elder brother has already returned to the residence."

Ning Nuo immediately pursed his lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Huang doesn't even visit me when he comes to the palace, I will ignore him from now on."

Empress Zhang: "When tomorrow is free, the queen mother will take you out of the palace to visit the second emperor brother, okay?"

Ning Nuo: "Okay! I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. Queen Mother, can Emperor Father go with us?"

Empress Zhang restrained her smile when she heard the words, she had a bad feeling in her heart, after the establishment of the prince, there seemed to be an invisible gap between the emperor and her.

She thought to herself: "Since ancient times, the Tian family has no kinship. Could it be that this curse cannot be avoided?"

Chapter 114: Sun Shaozu

The turmoil of asking for the crown prince finally ended with the dismissal of the right-handed governor, Shi Baixun, and the dismissal of the imperial envoy, Zhao Hong, to Sichuan as the county magistrate.

After meeting Dai Quan, Lin Yun knew that Bai Xun was Bai Yuan's younger brother, and he was the one behind the scenes when he asked the imperial envoy Zhao Hong to write a letter to ask for the crown prince to be appointed. Jia's.

Lin Yun felt a little strange after hearing this. The right-hand governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only a fourth-rank official, and he definitely does not have such great energy in the court. There must be someone behind this who is secretly fueling the flames.

He wanted to remind Dai Quan a few words, but then he thought, this old guy must be smarter than himself, since he didn't dig down, he must have got the emperor's order, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

After the turmoil in asking for the crown prince, King Wu's self-invitation to settle down was not approved, and the emperor ordered him to think behind closed doors.

At the same time, the queen's two sons, Ning Jing and Ning Ke, were granted the titles of King Chu and King Qi respectively.So far, the matter of asking for the establishment of the prince has come to an end.
